When I began my career at Schaffer & Associates in 2019, I had every intention of simply serving as their receptionist until I finished college and became a teacher.
Quickly I found my niche within the practice, and my role grew into that of the office administrator.
To date, I oversee much of the behind-the-scenes work within the firm.
I am happy to work in a place where I feel like I'm making a difference in the community.
My favorite part of working in a law firm is having the opportunity to help people during what is likely a dark time in their life.

Each state sets workers' compensation laws, so you must understand the workers' compensation laws in your state as an employee or independent contractor.
Workers' compensation insurance can help protect you in the event you are injured while on the job.
Workers' compensation is meant to prevent workers from having to be in the awkward position of suing their boss to recover medical expenses and lost wages.
Under workers' compensation laws, your workplace injury is considered no-fault.
This means your workers comp benefits are not dependent on proving who was at fault for causing the injury; rather, as long as the injury occurred due to workplace activity, the injury is considered a fully compensable claim.
